| Ken Gray. This month we say farewell to Ken who
retires as Estate Foreman on the 9th October. Ken started
work at Blagdon in 1962 as an apprentice stone mason and
has worked here ever since, for the last ten years as
foreman. Ken leaves many monuments to his work in the
maintenance department, possibly the most impressive
being the carved stone plaque to celebrate the garter on
the north wall of the Hall. He will continue part time on
the estate working at the hall directly for Matt and will
also be helping Marilyn with cooking for occasional
functions, he is swapping his leather apron for a more
domestic version. we all wish Ken a happy and health
retirement, with our thanks for all that he has done for
the estate in his long service. |
